Just Because It's About High-School, Doesn't Mean It's About High-School. 'Election'

Date of Review:  Mar 5, 2003
The Bottom Line: Not exactly masterful film-making, but a great commentary, a wonderfully funny movie, and incredibly entertaining.
Review:

Now that Alexander Payne's 'About Schmidt' has met with rave reviews, we are reminded of his '99 directorial effort 'Election'. Though 'Election' had and has its popularity, it flew under the radar of many, and is still not appreciated as...

Biting satire on American politics, gratuitously raunchy

Date of Review:  Jul 11, 2001
The Bottom Line: Slashing
Review: Alexander Payne?s film?Election? was loved by many critics (e- and other), and hated by some moviegoers (and epinionators). I saw it just before am about to visit my own whitebread hometown -- getting a ride there from a female former student...

Smart, funny and insightful.

Date of Review:  Jun 24, 2000
Review: Election would act as a great companion piece for Rushmore. I kept noticing similarities in them, like the basic plot and overall respect for the viewer. Election is subtle, but it's also quite harsh at times. It's nice to see a movie (or two, even)...

Election (1999)

Date of Review:  Sep 1, 2002
The Bottom Line: A competent, interesting, often hilarious satire that is grounded in solid direction and wonderful performances from Broderick and Witherspoon.
Review: Election is a wonderful film on several different levels. Director Alexander Payne (Citizen Ruth) has crafted a fierce satire that takes aim at every level of high school life: nerds, jocks, lesbians, cheerleaders, parents, and faculty. No one...

Ferris Beuller's Off Day

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2002
The Bottom Line: Alexander Payne's slick satire mercilessly exposes the corruption underlying many of our social contracts.
Review: The day finally came for my debut in the Stardust Lounge on board the mighty Norwegian Star cruise liner. I was there for hours, readying my Sink For Your Supper set of songs with the house band and determining how best to set such immortal ballads...

Erection??

Date of Review:  Jan 10, 2000
Review: Last week, my Japanese friend came running up to me at school, shouting "You've got to see Erection!" I politely told him that I didn't want to see his erection. He says "No... Not erection. ERECTION!" as he pointed furiously at the box he was...

Election: Brutally funny, dangerously clever

Date of Review:  Mar 7, 2000
Review: Election is one of the sharpest films to come out this year, with a brutal edge and thick comedy. Whether it reminds you of your high school days or a Jerry Springer episode, the plot is wonderfully and horribly plausible.

High School Politics

Date of Review:  Jun 7, 2001
The Bottom Line: A fun teen movie about highschool politics.
Review: Election is a teen dramatic comedy about highschool politics. It isn't as interesting as some of the other recent teen movies but with the combined acting skills of Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick the movie makes for a fun night at home with...

Call Florida, Because I Demand a Recount.

Date of Review:  Apr 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is an MTV Production. Run, run far, run fast.
Review: Disclaimer

Please let it be known that I did not see this movie of my own free will, I was trapped on a bus heading from Chicago to Grinnell and I had nowhere to run, although I did make some spirited attempts at opening the emergency exit...

This is the reason I am not a registered voter!!!

Date of Review:  May 6, 2001
The Bottom Line: I would not recommend this movie to anyone. This was one of the most boring, ridiculously written stories that I have ever watched.
Review: I passed Election by time after time while browsing the racks at the movie place. I finally got so desperate that I rented it. As with all comedies, I hope for the best but expect the worst and unfortunately, I got the latter.

Basically,...
